The day began with a visit to the
MC Escher exhibit in Den Haag. The building that houses the collection is almost as fascinating as the art itself; it's the formal royal palace, and every room has an ornate and artful chandelier. One's shaped like a spider, another an umbrella, a third a skull, and so forth. We walked around the
Peace Palace built by Andrew Carnegie, but had no tickets (or time) to tour. MB settled for a photo by the world flame of peace, which Ned remarked seemed rather small. Other photos in this post (and the next) are from our wanderings. You see odd things in this town.
